More debunking CBT as treatment for CFS

  There are some new comments on this article
  about cognitive dysfunction here:

  Amy Proal wrote this:
  "I too found CBT to be a total waste of money.
  I remember being on a huge waiting list to
  see a prestigious CBT doctor and then feeling
  exactly the same after many appointments.
  I used to think that perhaps I could
  "think my way out" of symptoms, but the MP
  has quelled that idea. Now that I realize
  the complexity of the dysregulation that
  occurs in chronic inflammatory disease,
  I understand how naive it is to think
  that we can change our biology by
  changing our thinking."

  If anybody is interested, there are
  other articles on Amy's web site.
  The interview with Greg Blaney M.D.
  who has a lot of patients on the
  Marshall Protocol and is on it himself
  is interesting, IMO.

  The required reading that needs to be
  done and understood before considering
  the Marshall Protocol takes most people
  months to do, but if anybody is interested
  it can be found at the MP study site:

  Cure My Th1 is a new web site where
  questions about the Marshall Protocol
  are answered by patient advocates.
